Antiques, classics, muscle, special interest, bikes and more, see the best car buffs have to offer at the first annual ÒMilpitas Veterans Commission Car Show.Ó

Established to raise funds to support veteransÕ needs and help the upkeep of Veterans Memorial Park at City Hall, the event feeds the publicÕs love of car shows and aims to make them aware of what the commission is doing for veterans. It is hoped that active duty service personnel or recruiters will be onsite and available to talk with attendees.

Pre-registration has already hit 60 vehicles and organizers are hoping to fill all 125 available spots. Trophies will be awarded to participants in several categories including Best of Show, Best of the Ô60s, Best Muscle Car, and a kidsÕ selection where every child gets an opportunity to pick the car they like best. If a trophy passes you by, each pre-register person gets an honorary dashboard plaque to take home.

Attendees can participate in various raffles for items such as restaurant certificates, hotel stays, goody baskets, and possibly a chance at the Powerball jackpot. A DJ will provide a soundtrack for the day, and food trucks will be on hand for lunch and snack options. The site is also close to various restaurants and coffee shops.

Registration is $30 per vehicle. While onsite registration will be available, pre-registration is encouraged as space is limited. For more information or to register, call (408) 586-3409.
